Lowry Park Zoo

On May 17th Lowry Park Zoo was having there $5 day so we had to go!!! We have been wanting to take Gabe for months but didn't want to pay almost $50 to just get in, thanks to Gigi who heard about the $5 thing on the radio.

They had free parking off site and then bused you over to the park, we had to wait a little bit for our bus. About 2-3 came and went till we got to the front of the line and Gabe was so excited about riding on the bus!!!

This picture of Gabe riding in the "school bus" as he called it I thought was so beautiful!! Gavin didn't look very amused but he was happy all day!!!

He didn't like all the different kind of monkeys all that much but none of them were really doing anything and they were harder to see.

The giraffe was Gabe's favorite!!!! He loved them and didn't want to leave from looking at them. they had a spot where you could go up to there eye level and feed them but the line was way long and he probably would have been scared then.

I asked some people to take a picture of us and apparently they missed the huge stroller with a child in it right in front of us. Sorry Gavin next time we will get a family picture!!!

Such cute boys at the Zoo!!!

Gabe liked all the fish, manatees and turtles but it was really crowded and hot in those buildings so we didn't look at them very long.

They even had small sharks that he was just in awe of!!

He really liked the Rhinoceroses' they were really close to he could see them really good and thought they were really cool.

Gavin was really a good sport all day and never whined once!!! I know he was hot being carried in that thing most of the day because I was burning up!!

The white tigers were the last thing we saw before we left and we actually got there when the Zoo girl was talking about them. I learned lots I didn't know about white tigers that day. They were all 3 resting in the far back corner till she through a couple cantaloupes in for them to play with. When they went flying I don't think I saw anything move so fast it was crazy. Gabe really liked them once they were up and moving!!! They were beautiful!!!

We had to wait just about 5-10 minutes for the bus to come to take us to our car and they both passed out before the bus could get there. They had such a fun day but they were both exhausted!!
